US aerospace and industrial company United Technologies (UTC) is set to win EU approval for the largest aerospace deal in history, a US$23 billion bid for avionics maker Rockwell Collins, reported Reuters in exclusive coverage.

Rockwell Collins’ software capability would also give UTC an edge in data crunching that allows airlines to spot problems in engines and other components before they fail.
